Interesting to Advertisers. 



It may interest advertisers to know that The Irrigation Age It the 

 only publication in the world having an actual paid in advance 

 circulation among individual irrigators and large irrigation corpo- 

 rations. It is read regularly by all interested in this subject and has 

 readers in all parts of the world. The Irrigation Age is 12 yean 

 old and is the pioneer publication of its class in the world. 



Organize. 



Organize a Tree Growers' Club in your 

 home town and write THE IRRIGATION 

 AGE for seeds and other information. 



In another column will be found further 

 Tree Clubs, mention of the Federation of the Tree 



Growing Clubs of America, which our 

 readers are requested to carefully scan, and a spe- 

 cial invitation is extended to those who contem- 

 plate organizing clubs in their home towns. They 

 are requested to communicate with the secretary of the 

 Federation, D. H. Anderson, at 112 Dearborn street, 

 Chicago, 111. 



We are publishing in this issue an article 

 Tribute to by Mr. Chas. A. Green, a well known 

 a Man. nurseryman and editor of Green's Fruit 



Grower, Eochester, N. Y., which pays a 

 very high tribute to a man who has done much to bene- 

 fit the present and future generations, and of whom Mr. 

 Green very gracefully speaks in connection with his 

 propagation of a new species of currant, known as the 

 Diploma Currant, which has attracted wide attention. 

 The gentleman referred to is Mr. Jacob Moore of Eoch- 

 ester. N\ Y.. and we would respectfully call the attention 

 of our readers to the article by Mr. Green, so that they 

 mnv understand what this man has accomplished. 



Sixteenth 

 Congress 

 Proceedings. 



We note with regret that the committee 

 in Sacramento who had the Sixteenth Na- 

 tional Irrigation Congress in charge has 

 not yet gotten out for delivery the report 

 of the proceedings of that body. This de- 

 lay is difficult to understand in view of the record estab- 

 lished by that committee in other lines. The Sacra- 

 mento people should wake up, as the publication of this 

 volume, if attractively prepared, will do much to adver- 

 tise that city and all California. 



It may be interesting to our many read- 

 The American ers who are members of the American 

 Irrigation Irrigation Federation to know that this 

 Federation. organization has been growing rapidly 



during the past six months. Very little 

 has been said about it in the columns of this journal, 

 but Mr. Shumway has been putting in some very effec- 

 tive work in the west during the past few months and 

 the report of new members is exceedingly gratifying. It 

 is the intention of the officials of the American Irriga- 

 tion Federation to work in conjunction with the Feder- 

 ation of Tree Growing Clubs of America, and each 

 member of the Irrigation Federation will be asked to 

 organize tree growing clubs in their home towns. All of 

 those wishing information concerning either of these 

 organizations may secure printed matter, fully descrip- 

 tive of same, by addressing D. H. Anderson, secretary 

 of the Federation of Tree Growing Clubs of America, 

 112 Dearborn street, Chicago, Illinois.
